Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as    36  . What would she do with me? She was almost mad after the   37   of her husband.

A few minutes later, I heard the truck   38   its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any   39  . Finally she put me down in a   40   place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.

I   41   out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.

It turned out that my owner meant to   42   me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head   43   the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself   44   my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all   45  .

I ran as fast as I could. And the   46   I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (an)   47   lady. She seemed even somewhat   48   at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to   49   the pains of losing him. She   50   his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only    51   thing to remind her of him.  52   later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this...

The truck finally stopped when I was almost   53  . She ran up to me and hugged me    54  . I heard her   55 : “I know you are a present he left to me.”

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   36   by tramps to inform their   37   whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to   38   them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

      Quite   39   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be   40  , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41  . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   42   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,   43   a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with   46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47   his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The   48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt   49   for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52  deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the   53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his   54  , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   55  , whistling as he went along.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very __2 1__. Some stories are told   __22__ they were true. Real people who live in a __23__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not  __24__ . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be   __25__ for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only   __26__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we   __27__ seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than   __28__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of  __ 29__. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __30__--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

Both realism and fantasy(幻想) __ 31__ the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read  __32__ realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __33__ that we are real and they are __34__. It sounds __35__ , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __36__ about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __37__ that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our __38__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose __39__ in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel __40__ we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
